<p>PC gaming is home to countless classics – games so good our experiences with them will probably be included in our dying thoughts. But even among the greats, there are those that stand out as games so innovative and well-made that they’re responsible for getting us into PC gaming in the first place.</p>
<p>Here we present you the 15 Awesome PC Games That Made Us Love PC Gaming – without which we would have never become the PC gamers that we are now.</p>
<p>Let’s start with entry number…</p>
<h2>15. Doom</h2>
<p><img alt="Doom01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1501.jpg" style="height:416px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px"><em>Every imp deserves at least two bullet holes in their face</em></span></p>
<p>If one game was responsible for single-handedly converting millions of console gamers into devoted PC gamers, it would have to be 1993’s <em>Doom. Doom</em> was so new, so edgy, and so explosive that even people who didn’t know PC gaming existed started picking up mouse and keyboard just to join in on the slaughter.</p>
<p><img alt="Doom02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1503.jpg" style="height:416px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px"><em>Big, mean, and loaded!</em></span></p>
<p>The concept of the game is simple. Scientists inadvertently open a portal to hell. Hell’s minions pour into the mortal world and quickly turn humans into barbecue. Enter Doomguy – your unnamed, mute space marine, a man with a BFG and a whole lot of demons to kill. The result? A splatterfest unlike anything seen in the gaming industry prior.</p>
<p><em>Doom’s</em> influence was so great that it transformed the first-person shooter into an industry capable of generating billions of dollars. Today, the genre is among the most popular, played by everyone from your grandfather to that snot-nosed kid next door. How’s that for a lasting legacy?</p>
<p><img alt="Doom03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1502.jpg" style="height:416px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A smile you'll never forget</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Doom04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1504.jpg" style="height:416px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Hell's throwing everything but the kitchen sink at you</span></em></p>
<h2>14. Diablo II</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XRXP5td0ZrA" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>The first <em>Diablo </em>gave us fantasy so dark you couldn’t play it without feeling you’ve just swum in six feet of human viscera and demon filth. <em>Diablo II </em>continues the gloom and doom, pitting you against not just one Lord of Hell, but three (not counting Lesser Evils such as Andariel and Duriel). That’s a whole lot of evil.</p>
<p><img alt="DiabloII02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1402.jpg" style="height:498px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Here's something to warm you up!</span></em></p>
<p>Everything about <em>Diablo II</em> is an improvement over the first. The five (and later seven) new classes are as diverse as the original three were mundane. Who’d ever thought a hero like the Necromancer, who summons an army of corpses to fight evil, could work?</p>
<p>The story is also more ambitious, involving several locations, and the war between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells themselves. As for the action, it’s more intense than ever, with players often finding themselves overwhelmed by hordes of monsters eager to see what humans look like with their spines on the outside. It’s a bloodbath, and got everybody mouse-clicking demons to death in no time.</p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">This will have them dancing in no time</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">White fire</span></em></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A chilly reception!</span></em></p>
<h2>13. Counter-Strike</h2>
<p><img alt="Counter-Strike01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1301.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">... is that Gordon Freeman??</span></em></p>
<p>In the early 2000s, it was common to walk into a net shop to find everybody playing the same game:<em> Counter-Strike.</em></p>
<p><em>Counter-Strike</em> started as a <em>Half-Life</em> mod that pitted two teams (counter-terrorists and terrorists) against each other in a chosen map. Map objectives ranged from bomb defusal and VIP protection to pumping the opposition full of lead. Simple? Yes. Addicting? Totally.</p>
<p><img alt="Counter-Strike02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1302.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">It doesn't matter how cold it is... these intense firefights will have you sweating in no time!</span></em></p>
<p><em>Counter-Strike </em>soon became a professional eSport, with countless teams vying for cash prizes and the prestige of kicking everyone’s butt in the global arena. Of course, a game this popular also meant controversy. <em>Counter-Strike </em>was banned in at least one country for its alleged power to “subvert social order.” Awesome PC games rarely get this much attention from the government!</p>
<p><img alt="Counter-Strike03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1303.jpg" style="height:401px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Right in the kisser</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Counter-Strike04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1304.jpg" style="height:377px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">The quick and the dead</span></em></p>
</p>
<h2>12. StarCraft</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HnyzZxkxo-c" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p><em>StarCraft </em>will go down in history as one of the finest PC titles for its ability to combine epic storytelling, memorable characters, fantastic strategy gaming, and exemplary multiplayer support.</p>
<p>And who doesn’t love its unique yet perfectly balanced factions? The insect-like Zerg have the weakest constitutions, but are fast, numerous, and reproduce like man-eating rabbits. The psionic Protoss have the most powerful units, but building them takes forever, not to mention a lot of resources. The Terrans, who employ tanks and battleships in war, are somewhere in between.</p>
<p><img alt="SC01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1201.jpg" style="height:500px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">15 minutes to build... 15 seconds to destroy</span></em></p>
<p><em>StarCraft’s</em> success made it a serious endeavor in South Korea, where the best players soon found themselves neck-deep in its mythic lore, and its deeply competitive strategy combat. Needless to say, it had a huge role in the growth of eSports, so its power to shape the gaming industry cannot be overstated. Definitely one of the most important PC games, ever!</p>
<p><img alt="SC02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1202.jpg" style="height:500px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">What's more monstrous... these insectoid freaks, or these four-legged... robot... things?</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="SC03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1203.jpg" style="height:500px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Maybe the Protoss spent some time in ancient Egypt...</span></em></p>
<h2>11. Portal</h2>
<p><img alt="Portal01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1101.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">It ain't no Rubik's Cube</span></em></p>
<p>Just when you thought developers couldn’t get more inventive with the first-person shooter genre, along comes Valve with another game that will probably never make it to a trilogy: <em>Portal</em>.</p>
<p>Shooting aliens between the eyes is fun, but who knew teleportation could be just as exhilarating?<em> Portal </em>tasks you with solving a series of challenging puzzles with nothing but a portal gun. This unique weapon creates two portals that allow you to move great distances in the blink of an eye. Quite handy, especially if you’re on your couch watching reruns of <em>The Walking Dead</em>, and you’re too lazy to walk the vast gulf separating your living room and kitchen for a can of cold beer straight from the fridge.</p>
<p><img alt="Portal02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1102.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Go ahead... push the cube... you know you want to!</span></em></p>
<p>But<em> Portal </em>is not just about the puzzles. It has great physics, amusing characters, and a terrific villain in GLaDOS. The game’s innovative gimmick drew players to the game out of curiosity, but they stayed for its excellent execution and unforgettable universe.</p>
<p>And now we have another part 3 to pine for. Come on Valve, throw the dog a bone, here!</p>
<p><img alt="Portal03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1103.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Down the rabbit hole</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Portal04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1104.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Point A to point B</span></em></p>
<h2>10. Dota</h2>
<p><img alt="Dota01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1001.jpg" style="height:401px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">The guy on the left seems a bit outnumbered!</span></em></p>
<p>When Blizzard created real-time strategy classics <em>StarCraft</em> and <em>Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne</em>, they had no idea they were unwittingly giving birth to a new genre of gaming: the MOBA.</p>
<p><em>Defense of the Ancients</em>, or <em>DotA</em>, is a mod of <em>Warcraft III</em>. It removes all the resource-gathering and base-building elements of <em>Warcraft III</em> and focuses instead on the game’s hero combat and RPG elements. The result? A game that kids all over the world skipped classes for, and that stole grownups away from their significant others.</p>
<p><img alt="Dota02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1002.jpg" style="height:401px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Magic and fury</span></em></p>
<p><em>DotA</em> won over millions because it is, without question, a sport. And like any sport, its rules are simple, but pave the way for complex strategy and teamwork. Now the MOBA, as both a genre and an eSport, has grown to absurd heights, and we have pioneers like <em>DotA </em>to thank for that.</p>
<p>Few awesome PC games have contributed to the gaming industry as much as <em>DotA</em> has!</p>
<p><img alt="Dota03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1003.jpg" style="height:401px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A close match...</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Dota04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_1004.jpg" style="height:401px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">The pursuit</span></em></p>
<h2>9. Call of Duty</h2>
<p><img alt="COD01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0901.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12px"><em>The dreaded day has arrived</em></span></p>
<p>Imagine having to dismember an army of demons all by yourself. Isn’t it sad? Isn’t it lonely? Wouldn’t it be nice to share a killshot with a friend, even if that friend was the A.I.? Friendship, after all, is magic!</p>
<p><img alt="COD02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0902.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A glimpse of hell</span></em></p>
<p><em>Call of Duty </em>wowed the gaming public not only by giving us a realistic shooter set in World War II, but also by allowing players to fight alongside allied soldiers and even tanks. It was executed so well that it gave players the feeling of camaraderie, of being part of something bigger than themselves. It also made the experience more immersive, as if you were really part of history’s most horrific war. Suffice it to say that, for months on end, players found themselves unable to put down their virtual guns for any other game.</p>
<p>The <em>Call of Duty</em> franchise now owns the first-person shooter genre, thanks to that very first game. And the series has only gotten bigger, more ambitious, and more exhilarating. It’s a great time to be a PC gamer!</p>
<p><img alt="COD03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0903.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Death can come from any place, at any time</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="COD04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0904.jpg" style="height:499px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A sleepless night</span></em></p>
<h2>8. The Sims</h2>
<p><img alt="Sims01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0801.jpg" style="height:464px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">"Welcome to our home!"</span></em></p>
<p>Life can be pretty darn boring, sometimes. But who knew overseeing other people’s boring lives could be so intoxicating?</p>
<p>That’s the entire premise of the life simulation series that began with 2000’s <em>The Sims. </em>You have a bunch of people and a house, and you manage their day-to-day business, from eating and showering to finding jobs, getting married, and making babies.</p>
<p><img alt="Sims02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0802.jpg" style="height:464px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A good time to panic</span></em></p>
<p>The game was so addicting that players found themselves taking better care of their Sims than themselves. And it was such a huge draw that even non-gamers had to try it out. Today, it’s one of the biggest franchises in gaming, spawning numerous sequels and countless expansion packs.</p>
<p><img alt="Sims03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0803.jpg" style="height:464px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A genie solves everything!</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Sims04" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0804.jpg" style="height:464px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Caught red-handed</span></em></p>
<h2>7. Minecraft</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MmB9b5njVbA" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>Who doesn’t love creating works of art with building block toys like <em>Lego?</em></p>
<p>That is the genius behind the indie game and runaway hit,<em> Minecraft.</em> Players are deposited in a procedurally generated, virtually endless open world made entirely of bricks. Break stuff, and you collect those bricks with which you can then build new stuff. A day/night cycle brings darkness, which spawns monsters of all sorts. There are bosses to kill, too.</p>
<p><img alt="Minecraft01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0701.jpg" style="height:374px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A zombie, a dog, and what looks like Nathan Drake</span></em></p>
<p>But if you simply want to create, there’s the Creative Mode which gives you unlimited access to the game’s creation tools. If you want proof of the game’s popularity and influence, just check the internet – it’s chockfull of Minecraft creations, which range from majestic castles and spaceships to things we can’t even mention here.</p>
<p>Few awesome PC games are able to tap into our inherent need to create, and for that, we totally love <em>Minecraft.</em></p>
<p><img alt="Minecraft02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0702.jpg" style="height:362px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Beautiful fantasy worlds await!</span></em></p>
<p><img alt="Minecraft03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0703.jpg" style="height:370px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A kingdom of bricks</span></em></p>
<h2>6. World of Warcraft</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G1pnNDRG7ok" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>Released more than a decade ago, <em>World of Warcraft</em> made the geeky world of MMORPGs hip. It’s so popular that its subscription numbers once peaked at over 12 million, not to mention it has given Blizzard billions of dollars in revenue. With that kind of money, you can buy yourself twelve islands, or better yet, transform yourself into a bat-themed costumed vigilante!</p>
<p><img alt="WoW01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_04_08_0101.jpg" style="height:414px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Don't mind the fireballs - it's me you gotta worry about!</span></em></p>
<p>Seriously though, <em>World of Warcraft</em> owes its success to its variety, and the consistently high quality of its ever-evolving content. Not only have you got loads of quests to complete, Blizzard continues to offer amazing expansions that broaden the universe’s lore, as well as multitudes of events and activities ranging from zombie invasions to contagious plagues.</p>
<p>There’s rarely a boring day in <em>World of Warcraft</em>, making it one of the most awesome PC games of our time.</p>
<p><img alt="WoW03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_05_07_0203.jpg" style="height:473px; width:665px" /></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Toasty!</span></em></p>

<h2>5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JSRtYpNRoN0" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>The decision to set <em>The Elder Scrolls V</em> in the wintry region of Skyrim was genius. If you love HBO’s<em> Game of Thrones</em> and History channel’s <em>Vikings</em>, you’ll be right at home with<em> Skyrim’s</em> dragons, frigid wastelands, relentless undead, and Tamriel’s most badass people, the Nords.</p>
<p>Nords are so badass, they probably only shower once a moth. But whatever race you pick in the game, it goes out of its way to make you feel like the toughest S.O.B. ever to swim in a river full of ice. You’ve got dragon’s blood, you see, which means every time you shout, someone’s brain ends up decorating the furniture.</p>
<p><img alt="Skyrim01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0501.jpg" style="height:374px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">You interrupted their dinner. Oh well, you can be dessert!</span></em></p>
<p>The game also gives you the freedom to be whatever you want to be. A sneaky thief breaking into homes to steal priceless cutlery and dirty underwear? Why not? How about a wizard who is as good at chopping up zombies as he is at setting farm animals on fire? Also doable! And there are so many quests it’ll make your head spin.</p>
<p>All good points that drove everyone to the nearest PC to play this open-world masterpiece. One of the most awesome PC games in existence!</p>
<p><img alt="Skyrim02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_05_07_0706.jpg" style="height:374px; width:665px" /></p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Dracula, on a good day</span></em></p>
<h2>4. Mass Effect 2</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PZK9vrBNRys" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>BioWare’s RPG magnum opus has everything we want from good science fiction.</p>
<p>First of all, believable science. None of that hokey midichlorian claptrap or aliens who are basically human beings, only with cheesy makeup and low budget forehead prosthetics.</p>
<p><img alt="MassEffect201" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0401.jpg" style="height:375px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">The gang is here</span></em></p>
<p>Secondly… wow, what an amazing cast of characters. There’s the tattooed badass, Jack, who can turn you inside out with a wave of her hand; alien vigilante Garrus, who could be Clint Eastwood’s spirit animal (and vice versa); and Miranda Lawson, whose curves will make your eyes pop out.</p>
<p>Of course, the action is amazing, as is the morality system that makes your Shepard either a saint with a laser gun or a soulless psychopath bent on making everyone in the galaxy feel like a doormat. Want awesome PC games? There’s the <em>Mass Effect</em> franchise, and <em>Mass Effect 2</em>.</p>

<p>Suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome or a particularly wretched case of insomnia? Who cares? For what is a little pain when the most significant thing in your life is that very next turn?</p>
<p>Sid Meier must be some kind of wizard, because few PC games have <em>Civilization IV’s </em>power to glue us to our seats for hours (or days), to stare at tiny army men until our retinas detach from our eyeballs. Who’d have known building and conquering cities, expanding your empire, and sharing a cup of tea with the likes of Queen Elizabeth and Gandhi could be so addicting?</p>

<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">Scout, or rading party?</span></em></p>
<p><em>Civilization IV</em> makes you part of mankind’s history by challenging you to guide a single settlement of primitives through the Ancient world, the Classical era, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, the present, and beyond. It’s such a genius formula that <em>Civilization</em> titles have become the most important and awesome PC games of our time.</p>

<h2>2. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn</h2>
<p><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="368" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8bHwTDl231A" width="665"></iframe></p>
<p>Picking up where the first game left off, <em>Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn i</em>s about the God of Murder’s mortal offspring. Yes, that means you. Your unique nature has made you the target of a certain evil wizard named Jon Irenicus. And as you can expect from a setup like that, much fun and excitement ensues!</p>
<p>Prepare for dragons, dungeons littered with human entrails, and a grand story that’ll take you through some of gaming’s most memorable locations. Its eclectic cast of characters gives the Fellowship a run for their money. Who can forget Minsc and his miniature giant space hamster, Boo?</p>
<p><img alt="Baldur'sGateII01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0201.jpg" style="height:374px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">These adventurers stayed up all night playing Civilization IV... now they can't stay awake!</span></em></p>
<p>Your actions affect how your party treats you. Be the kind of monster who kicks kittens and pushes old ladies down stairs, and the good guys will hate you. Be the swell kind of person who cooks for their significant other and walks their dog every day, and you will win the evildoers’ disgust.</p>
<p>In addition to its fantastic story and characters, the game combines deep character customization, glorious tactical combat, and that isometric perspective we’ve all come to love. Truly a masterpiece, and one of the most awesome PC games, ever!</p>

<h2>1. Half-Life</h2>
<p><img alt="Half-Life01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0101.jpg" style="height:374px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">A little help from a friend</span></em></p>
<p>Where would the first-person shooter genre (and the entirety of gaming, for that matter) be without <em>Half-Life?</em></p>
<p><em>Half-Life</em> gave us enemies who ducked for cover and cooperated with each other to put a bullet in your brain. It gave us a seamless world populated by survivors with stories of their own (most of which ended with them in monsters’ stomachs). For the first time in the genre, the virtual seemed real, no longer a slapdash conglomeration of pixels and brainless bad guys who ran straight into your crosshair as if they enjoyed the taste of gun barrel. <em>Half-Life</em> made us realize that games don’t have to be just action-packed – they can also be effective mediums for storytelling, and experiences as believable as they are unforgettable.</p>
<p><img alt="Half-Life02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_07_13_0102.jpg" style="height:416px; width:665px" /></p>
<p><em><span style="font-size:12px">The bitch slap from hell</span></em></p>
<p>Let’s not forget <em>Half-Life</em> gave rise to the <em>Counter-Strike</em> mod, which was instrumental in the development of eSports.</p>
<p><em>Doom </em>may have popularized the first-person shooter, but <em>Half-Life</em> made it meaningful. And for that, we believe Half-Life is one of the most awesome PC games ever made.</p>

<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0ecv0bT9DEo" width="660"></iframe></p>
<p><em>Warcraft</em>. <em>StarCraft</em>. <em>Diablo</em>. As gamers, Blizzard Entertainment’s disparate fantasy and sci-fi universes have all become part of our lives. We’ve bled with their heroes, conquered worlds with their villains. We’ve shared in the joys and heartaches of the likes of Jim Raynor, Sarah Kerrigan, Thrall, and Tyrael.</p>
<p>These are gaming’s legendary icons – some of the biggest names in the industry. And as much as we love them, you know you’ve always wondered… who’s the strongest of them all? Who will rise and who will fall in a battle between the Lich King Arthas, and Diablo, the Lord of Terror? In a duel between Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades, and the archmage, Jaina Proudmoore, who will stand victorious, and who will end up on her knees, licking the other’s boot heel?</p>
<p><em>Heroes of the Storm </em>is Blizzard’s attempt to answer those questions. As their own take on the MOBA genre, it pits the greatest gaming superstars against each other in the most epic of showdowns.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HR4ByUCT7jY" width="660"></iframe></p>
<h2>Story – the Chosen Ones</h2>
<p>As a cosmic storm linking the distinct realities together, the Nexus draws figures, both noble and nefarious, from across multiple universes. No one knows how one is chosen, or why. But one thing seems certain: the few who are whisked away from their worlds and timelines are brought into the many battlegrounds that comprise the Nexus, where they engage in the ultimate battle between good and evil.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f_fAkO3WOSY" width="660"></iframe></p>
<h2>Gameplay – the Nexus beckons</h2>
<p>While the game is still in development, we’ve spent enough time with its 36 characters and seven battlegrounds to give you an early <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> review.</p>
<p><em>Heroes of the Storm’s</em> gameplay shares much of its DNA with fellow MOBAs<em> Defense of the Ancients</em> (<em>DotA</em>) and <em>League of Legends</em> (<em>LoL</em>). Each player assumes the role of a hero character, then joins four other team members to challenge another team of five. The goal of each team is simple: destroy the opposing force’s core, which lies deep within their heavily guarded base on the other side of the map.</p>
<p>Of course, reaching the enemy team’s core isn’t a stroll along a sunset-soaked boulevard. Along the way, each team will encounter the other’s defensive structures, or forts. These stationary buildings attack the instant they spot members of the opposition. Each base also endlessly spawns wave after wave of minions, who single-mindedly march across the arena’s two or three lanes to the other side of the map. Like the forts, they assault anyone belonging to the rival team.</p>
<p><img alt="HotS01" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_04_20_0101.jpg" style="height:399px; width:660px" /></p>
<p>Fortunately, killing minions and crushing enemy structures rewards your team with experience points. Experience points can then be used by each hero to buy new skills or upgrade existing ones. The more powerful heroes become, the more exciting their skills, and the quicker they can annihilate enemy armies.</p>
<p>By rewarding teams, and not individuals, with experience points, <em>Heroes of the Storm’s</em> gameplay prevents individual heroes from becoming too powerful relative to their teammates. This system encourages teamwork, as it’s extremely rare for a single hero to become so powerful that they can take on groups of enemy heroes by themselves.</p>
<p>From mercenary camps scattered across the map, heroes can also forcibly recruit units. All you need for these neutral creeps to join your cause is a little persuasion… with your laser rifle or the edge of your blade.</p>
<p>So far, <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> has seven different battlegrounds, each with its own unique personality and objectives that put interesting twists into every match.</p>
<p><img alt="HotS02" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_04_20_0102.jpg" style="height:495px; width:660px" /></p>
<p>For example, by capturing two shrines in the Dragon Shire arena, either team can win temporary control of the Dragon Knight – a gargantuan monster capable of dealing incredible damage with alarming ease.</p>
<p>Haunted Mines, a two-lane battleground, comes with a subterranean network of tunnels crawling with undead. Upon defeat, these creatures drop skulls. The moment 100 skulls are collected by both teams, a frightening colossus of rotting flesh and bone arises in each base and makes its way to the rival team’s. The team that amassed the greatest number of skulls enjoys the benefit of having the stronger golem.</p>
<p>Because every battleground has a different challenge to offer, there are always unique tactical advantages to consider per map. This way, <em>Heroes of the Storm’s </em>gameplay ensures that every match is special.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/McYtFer6xpA" width="660"></iframe></p>
<h2>Characters – a company of heroes</h2>
<p>As mentioned earlier, there are 36 playable characters in <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> – the veritable who’s who of the Blizzard pantheon. But this is a roster that will continue to grow as Blizzard brings in characters from its three signature franchises and beyond. An excellent example of the latter? How about The Lost Vikings, who starred in two games published in the early to mid ‘90s? All three Lost Vikings arrive at the Nexus as a single unit – a truly uncommon pick by Blizzard, in a genre bursting at the seams with the strange and the extraordinary.</p>
<p>Every hero unit comes with three starting active skills, or Primary Abilities, and one passive skill, called Hero Trait. Heroes are also given two extra-powerful skills, or Heroic Abilities, to choose from. This is in addition to a variety of passive abilities that the hero can acquire as they level up.</p>
<p>Heroes are categorized according to their type. Assassin heroes deal immense damage to single units, but are relatively weak in constitution. They often employ long range attacks. Warrior heroes are the tanks of the game, able to withstand and dish out great punishment. Support heroes are healers who also provide buffs to friendlies. They usually have the most mana and the fastest cooldown rates. Specialist heroes perform a variety of specific functions, such laying siege to forts and mind-controlling enemy units.</p>
<p><img alt="HotS03" src="/sites/default/files/authors/u12476/2015_04_20_0103.jpg" style="height:495px; width:660px" /></p>
<p>An example of an Assassin is everyone’s favorite space cowboy, Jim Raynor. One of his Primary Abilities is Penetrating Round, which is a single rifle blast capable of piercing through a line of enemies. Another Primary Ability, Inspire, enhances the attack speed and damage of nearby allies.</p>
<p>Raynor’s Hero Trait, Advanced Optics, lets him see 10% further than his teammates, as well as augments his attack range by 20%.</p>
<p>Heroic Abilities are where things get really interesting. One allows Raynor to summon two cloaked Banshees which provide assistance in combat. Another calls the massive battleship, the Hyperion, to the arena, crushing all those unfortunate enough to enter its shadow.</p>
<p>As a Specialist Hero, <em>StarCraft’s </em>evolution master, Abathur, can clone hero units, or transform allied minions into more dangerous monstrosities. Other heroes include Azmodan, Tyrael, and the Witch Doctor from the <em>Diablo</em> series; Illidan, Sylvanas, and Uther from <em>Warcraft</em>; and Zeratul, Tychus, and Zagara from <em>StarCraft</em>.</p>
<p>Every week, <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> rotates a small lineup of heroes that can be used in matches for free. If you wish for a character to be permanently available for play, however, you’ll have to purchase them from the shop using in-game or real money. We were able to try a majority of the heroes for our <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> review, and we’re happy to announce we’re happy with what we’ve seen so far.</p>
<p>The shop offers an assortment of other items, as well, from new mounts to extra character skins.</p>
<p><iframe frameborder="0" height="365" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vNIAj8u63VU" width="660"></iframe></p>
<h2>Graphics – chaos never looked this good</h2>
<p>Blizzard has always placed game accessibility at the top of its list of priorities. For this reason, <em>Heroes of the Storms’</em> graphics, while charming in a cartoony sort of way, are modest, and will likely not cause any problems on low end PCs.</p>
<p>Despite less sophisticated visuals, <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> still looks fantastic. Vibrant colors and richly detailed environments help bring battlegrounds to life, while the heroes themselves are beautifully designed and oozing with personality. All character models have been rendered using a uniform art style, further removing any dissonance that might arise from the recognition that they belong to a diversity of universes.</p>
<h2>E-sports – still growing</h2>
<p><em>Heroes of the Storm</em> is one of the youngest entries in the MOBA scene, and still has a long way to go before equaling the likes of <em>LoL</em> in terms of its capacity to draw large, competitive crowds. Still, thanks to its unparalleled character roster and thrilling gameplay, Blizzard’s hero brawler has enormous potential. As of February 2015, <a class="Colorbox" href="http://www.thestreet.com/story/13038379/1/activision-blizzard-atvi-earnings-report-q4-2014-conference-call-transcript.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#008000">more than 9 million players</span></a> have already signed up for the game’s beta testing period. With its burgeoning community set to be one of the largest in the e-sports scene, enthusiastic game athletes are already coming together to form alliances. In fact, the last couple of months have already seen a few tournaments. This April 1st, the ESL Major League Europe Season 1 <a class="Colorbox" href="http://www.eslgaming.com/news/heroes-storm-major-league-season-1-champion-has-been-crowned" target="_blank"><span style="color:#008000">crowned a champion</span></a>, while Enter the Storm Cup # 2 will be having its qualifying rounds starting April 25th. The prizes are getting bigger, with Cup # 3 <a class="Colorbox" href="http://www.gosugamers.net/heroesofthestorm/news/30641-enter-the-storm-returns-with-cup-2" target="_blank"><span style="color:#008000">to distribute $10,000</span></a> to the winning team.</p>

<h2>Power overwhelming</h2>
<p>With iconic heroes that are a blast to play, one-of-a-kind battle arenas that encourage a fluidity of strategies, and gameplay that pushes cooperation to the forefront of any team tactic, Blizzard’s <em>Heroes of the Storm</em> is shaping up to be one of the most thrilling MOBAs in the industry.</p>
<p><em>Our rating – 9/10</em></p>
